Slinky Leg Socks
Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “Leg socks are a must for derby. Thigh-highs, knee-highs, even ankle socks are selected very carefully by a derby girl. They need to not only be the perfect thickness to fit with her skates, they need to look cool as well. These leg socks cut the thickness problem right out of the mix. Footless thigh-highs, with a nice stretchy ribbing are cute, sexy, and the perfect accessory for a night out with the girls! they are the same yarn and basic pattern as slinky arm socks so if you’ve already made your arm socks, your leg socks will be a breeze.”
